I'm a firm believer that never washing your truck protects the paint.

I had a 97 TJ that I never washed. One slow shift I finally washed it.
Everyone said they thought my jeep was green, it was actually black and looked phenomenal that day, lol. Brand new under all that shit.

Yep, a protective film?
I'm letting a Long Bed Tundra get filthy right now, and it is "super white" so now looking light brown.
Feels like harmless dirt so I'm not worried, not that I care.

I had a car that I hated (lesburu WRX) and never truly washed it. I'd take it to the do-it-yourself car wash and just blast it with the pressure washer from time to time, but never actually washed it until I went to sell it. It absolutely looked like a new car once I detailed it for sale. No swirls in the paint or anything.

Yeah man, that jeep was a legit 2.5 years getting no attention besides rain and blasting the mud off if it didn't fall off in a couple days on its own.
Looked factory when I actually cleaned it up.

People don't understand what happens when you don't properly wash your car. Few auto detailers even know how to properly wash and dry a car. Washing and drying is where most of the superficial paint damage happens. People don't think it be like it is but it do.

I didn't wash my truck for almost 5 years. After I did, I shit you not, I got better gas mileage. Could have just been a coincidence, but I thought it was pretty funny.

And you know they aren't going to replace the cable ahead of time after inspecting it and seeing it has wear and weak points. No, they will replace it after it breaks, kills someone and they need a new cable.
